Abstract:
This paper evaluates the empirical results comparing the effectiveness of campus and online economics instruction.

A brief summary of the relevant literature is also provided. Assessment of enrollment, attrition, and grade distribution across the two instruction modes is also presented. Results show student performance, based on the final grades earned are not statistically different when the traditional on-campus and asynchronous online modes are compared.
